Solution

failed
failed

The answer is B: digital native.

Explanation for each option:

A) Modem user: This term refers to someone who uses a modem to connect to the internet. While Antoine likely uses a modem as part of his internet connection, this term does not capture the broader context of his familiarity and comfort with digital technology from a young age.

B) Digital native: This term describes individuals who have grown up with digital technology such as the internet, computers, and smartphones. Antoine fits this description as he started using digital technology in high school and continued to use it extensively in college and for personal communication.

C) Digital immigrant: This term refers to individuals who were born before the widespread adoption of digital technology and have had to adapt to it later in life. Antoine does not fit this description as he has been using digital technology since high school.

D) Broadband citizen: This term is not commonly used and does not accurately describe Antoine's relationship with digital technology. It might imply someone who has access to high-speed internet, but it does not capture the generational aspect of being familiar with digital technology from a young age.

Therefore, the best description for Antoine is a digital native.
